Ouch. That's not good. Hope everyone was ok. Would you expect front airbags to deploy in a side impact? I don't know if the MG has rear curtain airbags. Thankfully, I've never been in a situation where airbags were needed (except on a bike and that didn't have them!)

Sounds silly but make sure your sun visor hasn't detached itself at one end... Took me a while to work that one out :)

I had my 2005 Prius for 7 years, went through 3 12v batteries in that time :/ Worse car I've ever had for batteries!

EVs and hybrids have very low capacity 12V batteries, they don't hold a charge for long if there's any sort of parasitic drain. All they're intended for is suppling current to monitoring/unlocking systems and starting up the electrical systems then the cars use the traction battery to run...

My drive is all bricks. Looked great till the ants moved in...

I bought one for the MG. I don't drive with it, because I don't need it. But I do use it if I need to just move the car a few times - having to mess about with the belt becomes a nuisance. Every other car I've driven just has an alert, the MG is the only car I've had that prevents you driving...

I can't move my car without the drivers seat belt engaged. It just refuses to go into gear, forward or reverse. I can't. I've tried all sorts of things. Sometimes I have to move it on the drive but I have to put the seatbelt on to do it. Just won't go into forward or reverse without it.

I don't disagree with most of the OP, but when you remember that the MG costs half as much as most other 'decent' EV's, it helps to explain a lot of the issues. Here's my experience. The auto high beam is useless in the MG. Can't be described in any other way. It doesn't recognise vehicles in...

Wish mine would stay off. It's somewhat less useful than a chocolate fireguard. Every time I get in the car I turn LKA and that speed limit recognition nonsense off. I have to do it quicky though, otherwise android auto starting up interferes with it. Only car I've ever driven where I have to go...

I have everything set to have minimal impact, everything's on the least intrusive/reactive settings I can find. I had a warning from the car last night when another vehicle in front of me decided to turn off. Seems that if you decide the car in front is getting out of the way and use even the...

Most of my driving is at night. There's no way to tell what those white lights are behind me so I always stick to speed limits and slow down a little going through junctions and lights. I learned caution in my Focus ST, a car that attracted cops like something smelly attracts flies. I still use...

The X Power is ridiculously quick off the line. It seems to almost jump forward as if it's eager to get going. For that first second and a half there's not much that'll keep up with it. The acceleration tails off a little where others keep going which is where, I think, they claw back some time...

Not in my neck of the woods. There's an orange one running around that sticks out like a sore thumb and a couple of nicely understated white ones ;) Not seen any other MG's. Lots of other EV's in MK though.

Driving home in my Tesla through Milton Keynes after it was repaired from collision with a suicidal fox, saw the glare of an orange Trophy waiting at a roundabout. Can't miss them, can you?

It's even worse with Waze. The entire map is blindingly bright until I toggle the headlights off and back on again - not ideal if you're already driving in the middle of the night... I got around the problem by just setting it to always use dark mode. I don't know if it's an AA problem or...

I've never seen one with a charge port on both sides. They all have a flap over the charge port with an identical moulding on the other side, but only one charge port.

The latest (V4) chargers have pretty standard length cables making them more flexible when it comes to charging other cars. The earlier versions were originally Tesla only so they were the right length for Tesla's which all have their charge ports at the rear left.

Heh. Best I've seen zipping around Milton Keynes (roundabout city) in my X Power is 3.6 m/kwh. It's normally around 2.5.

A heat pump made a huge difference to the LEAF with its tiny battery. It's not as much of a deal maker (or breaker) for current EVs.

You'd have to drive as if you had a Faberge egg on your roof to get a good score on those things.
